This Type of Gap Analysis is not to be confused with the one used to rate items as Good, Average and Poor but is a way of spotting the gap between reality and expectations or preferred status.

Quite simply this exercise is a way of identifying where you are now - your current reality - where you want to be and the high level things you need to do to get there. It is your way of identifying your stepping stones to a better life.
